1 City of San Mateo Bicycle Master Plan ppendix B. Bicycle Parking This appendix presents a Downtown San Mateo bicycle parking plan, locations for recommended bicycle parking upgrades, and recommended bicycle parking requirements for new development. B.. Downtown Bicycle Parking Plan The Downtown Bike Parking Plan (Plan) presents recommendations for bicycle parking throughout the City of San Mateo s downtown as well as designs for bicycle parking at seven specific locations. The recommended locations and layouts were chosen based on available right-of-way, proximity to businesses that attract bicyclists, and impacts to pedestrian activity and automobile parking. The seven designs presented on the following pages include descriptions of the proposed modifications and identification of benefits, impacts to the pedestrian activity and automobile parking. The seven locations discussed in the Downtown Bike Parking Plan are: 3rd venue and San Mateo Drive 3rd venue and B Street 5th venue and B Street 4th venue between El Camino Real and San Mateo Drive 3rd venue and Ellsworth venue 3rd venue between El Camino Real and San Mateo Drive Ellsworth venue between st venue and 2nd venue This Plan recommends the City conduct outreach in English and Spanish to visitors, employers and employees regarding use of Downtown bicycle parking. lta Planning + Design B-

5 B... 3 rd venue and San Mateo Drive B... Description The recommended bicycle parking at 3rd venue and San Mateo Drive is adjacent to several businesses that attract patrons on bicycles, including Baskin Robins and Togo s, in the heart of downtown San Mateo. The project would create four bicycle parking spaces at a red curb zone area in an area with limited available right-ofway. The bicycles would be protected with bollards and rubber parking blocks. B...2. Benefits Parking spaces for four bicycles would be placed in an area where there is little available space for siting bicycle racks in the sidewalk zone. B...3. Impacts to Pedestrian ctivity None. The bicycle racks would be placed outside of the pedestrian zone and will not block pedestrians exiting their automobile and accessing the sidewalk. B...4. Impacts to utomobile Parking None. This project will occupy unused on-street space and no automobile parking spaces will be removed.

7 B..2. 3rd venue and B Street B..2.. Description The recommended bicycle parking at 3rd venue and B Street is adjacent to a major bicycle attractor, Peet s Coffee, in the heart of downtown San Mateo. The project would replace one auto parking space with parking for eight bicycles in an area with limited available right-of-way. The bicycles would be protected with bollards and rubber parking blocks. In addition, edgeline striping and cross hatching would direct motorists around the turn when entering 3rd venue from B Street and away from the bollards outside the travel lane. B Benefits Parking spaces for eight bicycles would be placed in an area where there is little available space in the sidewalk zone. B Impacts to Pedestrian ctivity None. The bicycle racks would be placed outside of the pedestrian zone and will not block pedestrians exiting their automobile and accessing the sidewalk.

11 B..4. 4th venue between El Camino Real and San Mateo Drive B..4.. Description The recommended bicycle parking on 4th venue between El Camino Real and San Mateo Drive is adjacent to several food service businesses that regularly attract customers on bicycles, including Starbucks, Noah s Bagels and Jamba Juice. The project would replace one auto parking space with parking for eight bicycles in an area with limited available right-of-way. The bicycles would be protected with bollards and rubber parking blocks. B Benefits Parking spaces for eight bicycles would be placed in an area where there is little available space in the sidewalk zone. Existing conditions include automobile impacts to the adjacent midblock crosswalk. Cars backing out of the parking space impede on the crosswalk. This bicycle parking project will remove that conflict. B Impacts to Pedestrian ctivity The bicycle racks would be placed outside of the pedestrian zone and will not block pedestrians exiting their automobile and accessing the sidewalk. This project would remove automobile conflict with pedestrians in the crosswalk and therefore improve the pedestrian environment. B Impacts to utomobile Parking Removal of one auto parking space.

49 City of San Mateo Bicycle Master Plan B.3. Recommended Locations for Bicycle Rack Upgrades Through the public workshop and input from the Plan website, community members expressed desire for the City to replace, as funding allows, existing racks that do not meet City standards. Bicycle racks that do not meet City standards include wheelbender and wave racks. These do not meet City standards because they do not provide two points of contact and therefore bicycles are not stable and can fall over becoming tripping hazards. The locations of the bicycle racks recommended for upgrade are presented in Table B-3.
